Summary
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.
Appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, the panel is tasked with recommending spending cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and agency restructuring by July 4, 2026.
Musk and Ramaswamy advocate for drastic measures, including cutting grants to nonprofits and potential mass layoffs.
TIL. I always assumed doge coin was his thing since he seemed to promote so much. Either way, these guys are insufferable nerds.
Edit: I just read he actually referred to himself as the “Dogefather.” Fucking cringe.
Trumps staff already beat you by prefacing that only super high-IQ people understand the humor
